And I will repeat that I do not think he is even average. Right now he has good coordinators who are carrying him to good performances. He is 100% capable of reverting to 8-5 type seasons.


This is (unfortunately) quite accurate

We have decent co-ordinators now that have tempered Kelly's penchant for ignoring 2 of three phases of the game and fucking up the one phase to which he pays attention and fancies himself the expert.

Under Kelly and Swarbrick, our fate is a random walk to mediocrity. This year was an upward blip in a 30-year downward trend.

We are the 21st-century version of Yale after Walter Camp era The University of Chicago Maroons after the Amos Alonzo Stagg era or The Minnesota Golden Gophers after the Bernie Bierman era.

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Notre Dame Football as we knew it, ended decades ago. There is not enough institutional will to continue it as anything more than a revenue generator.
